I Flew Down Under

I flew down under in my dreams.
I know ‘cause I came back with a receipt.
Paid for some formal education in Sidney,
a nice room at Hotel Straya.
Snags on the barbie
for me and my bogans,
and after the piss up,
I even picked up
the tab with
Cleanaway.

This morning I’m flogged,
‘flat out like a lizard drinkin’,
with unpacked bags
from my midnight walkabout.
Got some credit card clogs,
swimming nuddy in the swag.
One hell a’ trip, even lost my togs.

Woke up with some flagged charges from overnight. Apparently, I took a bender of a trip to Oz’ so I thought I’d write about it. Luckily, all is sorted.

quite interesting poem here…I am not sure I can make sense of it all but still, it is an interesting read.

  I may have had a bit too much fun with the Aussie slang words. I’m glad you found it intriguing. 😉

  Thanks, Tom. It was, indeed. Don’t think I got the FF miles, either. 😂 Nope. Just the bill.

  Why thank you.💜 . Aussie slang is tops. Enjoyed having a vent after a bunch of charges appeared this morning from Australia on my credit card. Thought maybe I’d write about all these overnight adventures, I must have had

  I did alright with the lingo, then? Went in fishing for one word and ended up with a lot of words to use.

  Oh, this has to be documented. 😂😂I sense a bachelor partyesque story coming on. You must sometime tell me about it.

    Hahaha. 😂 No documentation exists, expect in mind. 😅😂 That’s exactly so; and, it was long ago. Hehe. Maybe a tiny poem about it? So much fun.

Lol. Did you spell Sydney that way deliberately? Are you making fun of the education? Sorry. I just had to clarify.

  Yes, well. It was apparently epic and somehow I missed all the good bits. 😂

Oz is a bit like that, a bit hazy in my memory, and filled with odd creatures.
